Ways We Live: Exploring Community
NSP 176pp ISBN: 0-86571-363-4 $19.95 Community Development

The concept of community is central to our well being as individuals and as a society. Yet fragmented families, constant moving and job changes have led to a pervasive feeling of isolation and a sense that we've somehow lost community to the past. Ways We Live explores how we've created new models of community that provide the spiritual sustenance that we crave. From RV communities to "virtual" communities created through electronic communication; from intentional communities and communes to urban neighborhoods; and from retirement communities to single parent co-housing - Ways We Live ponders how we respond to our inner yearning for belonging, meaning, and fulfillment and our ability to create community in the 1990s.'

Bookchin, Murray
Which Way for the Ecology Movement
AK Press 75pp ISBN: 1-873176-26-0 $9.00 Ecology

In the essays that make up this book, Murray Bookchin calls for a critical social standpoint that transcends both ?biocentrism? and ?ecocentrism?. A call for new politics and ethics of complementarity, in which people, fighting for a free, nonhierarchical, and cooperative society, begin to play a creative role in natural evolution. Bookchin attacks the misanthropic notion that the environmental crisis is caused mainly by overpopulation or humanity?s genetic makeup. He resolutely points to a social cause-patriarchy, racism, and a capitalistic ?grow or die? economy, as some of the problems the environmental movement must deal with. These ideas have to be confronted by environmentally concerned readers if the ecology movement is not to destroy its own potential as a force for social change and the achievement of a truly ecological society. Murray Bookchin?s writings have profoundly influenced ecological thinking over the last forty years. Now in his seventies, he has been a life long radical, a trade union activist in the 30?s and 40?, an innovative theorist in the 60?s and a leading participant in the antinuclear and radical wing of the Greens in the 70?s and 80?s. His ideas on social ecology have been important contributions to left libertarian thinking.

Brisbane Defend Our Unions Committee 64pp ISBN: 0646-36368-9 $4.00 Political Systems

War on the Waterfront is about the attempt to break the solidarity of waterside workers and workers in general in Australia in 1998.

NSP 256pp ISBN: 0-86571-266-2 $16.95 Political Economy

'Whole Life Economics opens the door to personal and social recovery from our deadly addiction to money and short-term gain.

Brown, Susan L.
Politics of Individualism: Liberalism - Liberal Feminism & Anarchism
Black Rose 200pp ISBN: 1-895431-78-6 $22.50 Philosophy

L. Susan Brown argues for a new vision of human freedom which incorporates the insights of feminism and liberalism into a form of anarchism based on what she calls 'existential individualism.' The work focuses specifically on the similarities and differences of these political philosophies, by critically examining the liberal feminist writings of John Stuart Mill, Betty Friedan, Simone de Beauvoir and Janet Radcliffe Richards, paying special attention to the issues of employment, education, marriage and the family, and governmental politics. These works are, in turn, compared and contrasted to the anarcho-feminism of Emma Goldman. Finally, as feminism as a whole movement is subjected to a rigorous critique, in terms of its overall liberatory potential, what emerges is a compelling look at feminist anarchism, describing 'what ought to be--and what could be.'

AK Press 256pp ISBN: 1 902593 59 6 $28.40 Ecology

So says essayist Anna Sojourner in this pushy and irreverent collection of inkworthy social critique and optimistic celebration. Four dozen contributors document, define and drive home the beauty of a quiet ride with a thousand friends, the anarchy of grassroots inspiration, the melodrama of media coverage and the fight for the survival of our cities.

Who's Calling the Shots? How to Respond Effectively to Children's Fascination with War Play, War Toys & Violent TV
NSP 204pp ISBN: 0-86571-165-8 $17.95 Education

Who's Calling the Shots offers a wealth of developmentally appropriate suggestions, practical ideas and resources for helping children reclaim imaginative play, avoid rigid gender and racial stereotypes, resist consumerism, and develop skills for playing and living less violently. Who's Calling the Shots? also explains the increasingly influential collaboration between toy makers and cartoon producers, who are actively blurring the lines between "entertainment" and promotion, and so creating both tremendous consumer pressure on parents through children, and less imaginative play among children.

Cleaver, Harry
Reading Capital Politically
AK Press 183pp ISBN: 1-902593-29-4 $22.50 Political Economy

Through a close reading of the first chapter, Cleaver shows that Das Kapital was written for the workers, not for academics, and that we need to expand our idea of workers to include housewives, students, the unemployed and other non-waged workers. Reading Capital Politically provides a theoretical and historical bridge between struggles in Europe in the 60s & 70s, and particulary the Autonomia of Italy to the Zapatistas of the 90s. Cleaver's introduction provides a brilliant and succinct overview of working class struggles in the century since Capital was published.

Cohn-Bendit, Daniel & Gabriel
Obsolete Communism
AK Press 239pp ISBN: 1-902593-25-1 $25.40 Anarchism

'Their nightmares are our dreams' In May 68 a student protest at Nanterre University spread to other universities, to Paris factories and in a few weeks to most of France. On May 13 a million Parisians marched. Ten million workers went out on strike. At the center of the fray from the beginning was Daniel Cohn-Bendit, expelled from Nanterre for his agitation. Obsolete Communism was written in 5 weeks immediately after the French state regained control, and no account of May 68 or indeed of any rebellion can match its immediacy or urgency. Daniel's gripping account of the revolt is complemented by brother Gabriel's biting criticism of the collaboration of the state, the union leadership and the French Communist Party in restoring order, defusing revolutionary energy & handing the factories back to the capitalists. Leninism & the unions come under fire as top-down bureaucracies whose need to manage and control are always at odds with revolutionary action.

For half a century the IMF and World Bank - two of the most powerful institutions on Earth - operated in near-total secrecy. Now, an international grassroots movement is exposing these elite operations to the uncomfortably bright light of public scrutiny. Authors include Robert Naiman on how IMF and World Bank policies lower wages and encourage sweatshops; Carol Welch on how economic lending institutions are used for corporate welfare; Terry Allen on police brutality and recent government efforts to chill activism; Naomi Klein on how criticism of protestors' 'lack of vision' has often missed the point; Robert Weissman on how most debt relief programs have been little more than a PR stunt...and much more.

Quiet Rumours: An Anarcha-Feminist Reader
AK Press 120pp ISBN: 1 902593 40 5 $22.50 Sexuality & Gender

From consciousness-raising groups to hair-razing punk rockers, here's a fascinating window into the development of the women's movement, in the words of the women who moved it. These classic essays span the century, providing welcome context for feminism as part of a larger politics of liberation and equality. Critical analysis and biting polemic, whether it's Emma Goldman's attack on the suffrage movement or the debates of Second Wave feminists of the 1970s, connect the dots to show not just how anarchism influenced feminism, but how feminism changed the political landscape around it.

An anthology of the three classic Situationist pamphlets - The Poverty of Student Life, Totality for Kids, and The Decline and Fall of the Spectacular Commodity Economy, plus eyewitness accounts of the Paris May 68 events.

Easier to read than Society of the Spectacle, and a provocatively seductive invitation to a life of freedom and revolt. Illustrated throughout with photos of the May 68 events, and the graffiti which played such a crucial role. A beautiful book.

Anarchist Farm
III Publishing 192pp ISBN: 1-886625-01-8 $21.00 Literature

If you loved George Orwell's 'Animal Farm', you'll love this 'sequel'. Many who have read Orwell's classic missed the basic underlying anti-authoritarian message, instead reading it as an allegory about the Soviet Union. In Anarchist Farm we find an extension of the philosophies underlying Animal Farm, but this time with a more upbeat outcome. Contemporary concerns such as ecocide and animal rights are also woven into this readable book. In fact, it is written in a style appropriate for teenage readers. Anarchist Farm is funny, thought-provoking, and inspiring. It's an excellent sequel to Animal Farm. Let's hope that a few more readers 'get it' this time. - From Practical Anarchy #10

Engwicht, David
Reclaiming our Cities and Towns
NSP 192pp ISBN: 0-86571-283-2 $14.95 Housing & Planning

David Engwicht illustrates how city planners and engineers have virtually eliminated effective human exchange by building more roads in the name of "progress," thus taking commerce out of the cities and into strip malls, gutting our communities, and increasing traffic fatalities. David Engwicht points the way toward "eco-cities" where people can move (via foot, bicycles, and mass transit) and interact freely without fear, and and without absorbing deadly toxins. Advocating community control, this is an excellent how-to book on organizing and planning for sustainable urban development. It will change every reader's view of the urban environment.

Better Not Bigger: How to Take Control of Urban Growth and Improve Your Community
NSP 176pp ISBN: 0-86571-386-3 $17.95 Political Economy

Better NOT Bigger is a 'mantra' for communities facing rapid development. Fodor explodes the fundamental myth that growth is good for us and that more development will bring in more tax money, add jobs, lower housing costs, and reduce property taxes. The real winners, contends Fodor, are real estate developers, mortgage bankers, realtors, and construction companies who utilize local government to divert public resources into growth-inducing investments. The benefits from exploiting the community commons accrue to a few, while the costs are distributed across the entire community. Fodor marshals evidence from almost every state in the US to prove his point.

Frankel calls for greater emphasis on collaboration, process and quality in all dimensions of business practice, as well as a 'new humanism' requiring corporations to be more sensitive to the full range of human concerns and to include social equity into the calculation of the 'bottom line.'

Gagneur, Louise
The Nihilist Princess
III Publishing 254pp ISBN: 1-886625-05-0 $25.20 Literature

The Nihilist Princess was originally published in the United States in 1881. By then the radically feminist author, Louise M. Gagneur, was one of the best-selling writers in Europe. Gagneur tales the tale of Princess Wanda, a relation of the Czar who has joined the nihilists. The nihilists are for freedom and against the enslavement of the Russian people by the Czar and his aristocracy. Though Wanda is the daughter of the powerful Prince Kryloff and is invited to the best balls of the empire, she must be careful to conceall her nihilist beliefs because even she could be tortured, exiled, or executed if caught by the secret police. This novel is a 19th century page-turner; most novels of that era now forced upon children in our schools pale by comparison.

Black Rose 202pp ISBN: 1-895431-64-6 $25.50 Sexuality & Gender

Hansen, Ann
Direct Action: Memoirs Of An Urban Guerilla
AK Press 493pp ISBN: 1 902593 48 0 $29.90 Social Defence

The Vancouver 5, or Squamish 5, were 5 Canadians convicted in the early 80s of (successfully) bombing a hydro-electric power sub-station, the Litton Systems plant in Toronto, where components for Cruise Missiles were being made, and several Red Hot Video stores, accused of selling violent pornography. Now, finally, twenty years later, Ann Hansen, who served 7 years for her involvement, tells the true gripping saga of an anarchist guerilla group. From its origins in the Canadian anarchist and counter-cultural milieu of the late 70s/early 80s; to going underground, and a clandestine life of arms drills, explosive practice, stealing cars, and (failed) armored car heists; to the massive reaction and surveillance of a state that felt (understandably) very much under attack, and the subsequent 'trial by media' of those involved - this is very real incredible revolutionary 'true-crime' tale of unrepentant action. 480 pages of fast-paced narrative are topped off with Communiques issued for all the actions, and Ann Hansen's Statement To The Court Before Sentencing. A triumph of storytelling, history and very real debate about movement tactics, goals, and vision. "Hansen's story is an intense, articulate rendering of her motivations and desire to be part of an effective revolutionary force for social justice." [Quill & Quire]

Black Rose 349pp ISBN: 1-895431-36-0 $25.50 Philosophy

A realist and a revolutionist, Kropotkin regarded ethics not as an abstract science of human conduct, but as a concrete scientific discipline, whose object it was to inspire people in their practical activities. According to his theory, mutual aid, justice and self-sacrifice are the three elements of morality and these elements lie at the basis of human ethics. He held that ethics should be one and the same for all people - that no matter what class or party one might belong, we were all, first of all, human beings. Informative and readable.

Evolution & Environment Vol #11
Black Rose 262pp ISBN: 0-921689-44-1 $16.20 Ecology

Kropotkin the geographer had a social and political concern that transformed his interest in science into a larger ecological concern that outstripped the understanding of his contemporaries. He upheld the instinct of individuals to support one another, and acknowledged environmental influences on mutation and evolution. Wheras arguments at the time based all change on the drive for survival, Kropotkin's insight - now acknowledged by ecologists - insisted on the selective pressure of the environment and the importance of habitat. The book is divided into two sections: "Modern Science and Anarchism" and "Thoughts on Evolution".

In Russian & French Prisons Vol #6
Black Rose 387pp ISBN: 0-921689-98-5 $20.20 Political Systems

Kropotkin's criticisms of prisons and the penal system still has great relevance today. As a young military officer in Siberia Kropotkin was appointed secretary to a committee for the reform of prisons. He saw first hand the degradation and cruelty of prisons, and how his attempts at reform were ignored by the St Petersberg autocracy. Later, he would experience 5 years of prison in Russia and in France for his revolutionary activities. The extensive use of contempory accounts by prisoners and penologists and his own considerable personal experiences give this book enormous power which speaks to the still present need to reform the prison system.
